Hi guys! I am doing my first ever environment project and this is my first rock that I've sculpted! I'll keep you guys updated with my environment. For now, here's the rock. Critiques please!

BARDLER

What is your reference? It is really important for rocks to have strong silhouette, but yours is still very close to a sphere.

some rocks are more rounded than others but BARDLER is right maybe push your shapes a bit. Try adding a rocky alpha to your trimSB brush to get some cool detail. Add some large surface noise and maybe go from there as well. I wouldnt use that matcap when sculpting a rock piece but maybe thats just me.

throw it up on the main rock thread as well, a lot of people subscribed to that one.

Good start

Thank you guys for the feedback!

@Adelphia Could you suggest me a good matcap for rock sculpting or for any sculpting as a matter of fact? Thanks!

Nathan3D

sure, i like to keep it simple with ones like white cavity or pearl.

when im sculpting things like characters i will go through lots of them to try and find what im looking for at that time.

I like the gorilla one too but just i think it looks cool haha its not very practical

@Adelphia Thanks for the names, though, well this is embarrassing, but I can't seem to find those materials after scouring the internet for them. Would you be kind enough to post a link here? Thanks!

There just materials that come with zbrush just in the material selection. I'm on 4r7 though so you might not have them all if your on another one.
